Israel Weighs Plan to Connect Jordan and Saudi Arabia to Israeli Ports
(Jerusalem Post) Eytan Halon - There is "great interest" in a plan to give Jordan and Saudi Arabia access to the Mediterranean Sea through Israeli ports, Transportation Minister Israel Katz said Monday. Under the plan, the Haifa to Beit She'an train would extend across the border to Irbid, Jordan, and southward to Jenin in the Palestinian Authority. From Irbid, the train tracks would link with the existing Hijaz Railroad and planned lines extending into Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf.
